Hosea 5:8-15

8 1Blow the horn in 2Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: “3Behind you, Benjamin!”9Ephraim will become a 4desolation in the 5day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I 6declare what is sure.10The princes of Judah have become like those who 7move a boundary; On them I will 8pour out My wrath 9like water.11Ephraim is 10oppressed, crushed in judgment, 11Because he was determined to 12follow man’s command.12Therefore I am like a 13moth to Ephraim And like rottenness to the house of Judah.13When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his 14wound, Then Ephraim went to 15Assyria And sent to 16 17King Jareb. But he is 18unable to heal you, Or to cure you of your 19wound.14For I will be 20like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. 21I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be 22none to deliver.15I will go away and return to My place Until they 23 24acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly 25seek Me.
